Overview:

Blackboard is the Course Management System in use at SDW. As more digital resources are used with students in the classroom and staff in professional development settings, Blackboard is particularly well suited at organizing that content to make it meaningful and easily accessible for users. The most recent installation of Blackboard supports "Web 2.0" tools, such as wikis, blogs, discussion boards, and more. Blackboard is an incredibly versatile tool that can be used for organizing professional resources, for sharing lesson plans or assessments, for offering self-paced professional development, for communicating key information to an entire staff, or for posting assignments and information for student/parent access, or for running a face-to-face, hybrid, or virtual classroom.

Parent/Guardian Login to Blackboard

As soon as students have been enrolled into a Blackboard course by the teacher of that course, the student's parents/guardians are also automatically enrolled into that course. Parents are issued a blackboard login. Provided a parent/guardian has access to all of his/her children with a single Infinite Campus Portal login, the parent/guardian will also be able to observe all of his/her children in Blackboard. The process for switching which child the parent is observing in Blackboard is outlined here.

In the event that a parent/guardian cannot see all of his/her children, or in the event that a parent/guardian is not aware of his/her Infinite Campus Portal login information, they should contact the building secretary for the school the child attends.
